    Take care of your knee.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Thank you! I plan on babying the knee for a bit now. At least a week. Then I will work it back up slowly.

    Yes. I feel pretty glad. I know if my knee was in shape it would have been able to kill it. So, I have signed up for next year.

    Thanks Annie. It was my goal from the time I got my sleeve was to do this half marathon. I signed up for it after I had the surgery. I knew I would get there. I am ready to train well and do it again next year! But for now I rest up.

    I might be limping today but it was worth powering through that last 2 miles to be able to complete it. I am sure I will be fine. And I already read up on what I need to do to get my knee back into shape. Lots of special stretches and some strength training. I will be running again in no time!!

    I've only signed up for a half for next year again. I have to be 100% sure my knee will hold out this year. It is so strange to have knee issues after losing weight. When I was fat I could jog and my knees didn't hurt.

    Just seeing this post! Congrats on your finish. 2:38 is a respectable finish for sure! Where did you run? How did the Hoka One One's hold up? I just got a second pair.

    Rest your knees and then slowly get back into it with slow mileage increases. I'm still running daily and have been fortunate that I haven't had any injuries (yet)!

    Congrats on your half! The feeling of accomplishment is amazing!

    Thanks Glenn. I ran the San Antonio Rock and Roll. I already signed up to run it again next year. Also, we are going to do a Tough Mudder in May. I did one back in 2013 and loved it. I have been working on some strength training to work on my knee. I just started to do some light running again for my knee. I think it may possibly have been a stress fracture as when the weather got nasty and cold I could feel it in my knee even though my knee has been feeling fine. I am on a new strength routine and I really think that is going to help me as well. I absolutely love my Hoka's. They are so very comfy. They look like they would be heavy but they are super lightweight! I was not upset with my time since I had to walk the last 2.1 miles with a limp looking like Igor from Frankenstein. LOL.

    I heard the Rock and Roll marathon series are a lot of fun! I am thinking about doing one of the Disney runs in the future (kids would love another trip to Disney).

    Not that either of us run that slowly, but I saw this shirt the other day and it made me laugh!
